Big Bertha Thing china

There is an old chinese curse, which goes "Live in interesting
times." In which times, they used to get their heads chopped off.
They used to go around saying "Thats not so good, thats not so
funny or thats not so interesting."

There was a nation of them, now some 1 billion strong. There are
even bigger numbers in OUSA Classical Particle Conf., such as
227879226 photons in an electron. Every one should have one.
